Safe eating environment. Company policy in place for allergies - food staff changed gloves and foam measuring cup for my meal. Expediter also changed gloves before touching my tray and handing it to me. Food is super delicious and staff is friendly and allergy knowledgeable. Ate there several times during our two week vacation and didn't mind the 45 minute commute. Don't hesitate celiacs and sensitive celiacs.

This is my favorite place in Fort Myers!! My husband and I love this place and eat here all the time! One thing I really missed after my Celiac diagnosis was BBQ. I could never trust anyone with cross contamination anywhere else. When you tell them that you are GF, they know exactly what to do and how to do it right and they don't treat you like it is a huge inconvenience. I am a super sensitive Celiac and I have never gotten sick here. It's so nice to go somewhere to eat and feel like a normal person!

The staff was super knowledgeable and helpful. The food is AMAZING. I tried the baby back ribs, pulled pork, and brisket - and I can't decide which is my favorite because they are all really good! I also tried the baked beans, green beans, and French fries and again - delicious. The flavor is really great, and hearing them call "gluten free fries down" is music to the ears. I highly recommend this spot!

The food is wonderful but not as good as the service! They make sure the cooks know it's a gluten free order and never act like it's a bother. Taylor even came to the table to be sure I did not try the only sauce that is not gluten free. I recommend this place to any gf people!

Delicious BBQ! The GF menu is at the register. French fries are fried in a dedicated fryer. They alerted the back about my GF order and someone came over and talked to me about the sauces and foods that I could/could not have.

Went because others had written good reviews. They very aware of how to handle a gluten-free meal. Even came out & made certain I knew one of their sauces was not GF. Lots of food-might share a meal next time. I also will be back.

Amazing food and very knowledgeable staff. They even replaced my meal once without me asking when I didn't realize their beef rib had au jus on it before it was served. The manager actually figured it out before I dug into the meal. That says a lot to someone with a bad food allergy. I've eaten here probably 5 times and have never had a reaction. I plan on going back whenever possible.

This place is AWESOME if you are gluten free or have celiacs. They have GF menus right at the register, and the workers know EVERYTHING there is to know about gluten. They even called to the back cooks that they had a gluten free customer in the restaurant. Not to mention, they were ALLL extremely friendly. The baked beans were fantastic. And they also came over and gave us some free fries. EXCELLENT PLACE!

We LOVE Mission BBQ! I am (nearly) embarrassed to say we go there almost every week. The majority of their menu is gluten free. They have a gf menu at the register, and the staff is knowledgable. We have never gotten sick at any of the locations we have gone to (Stafford, Woodbridge, Alexandria) and the numerous gf and not gf friends and family members we have taken there have all raved about it.

Excellent BBQ and selection of sauces. When you place a gluten free order they let the kitchen staff know so that they can change gloves and clean the workspace prior to making your meal. They also have a dedicated fryer for fries.

Absolutely amazing! I have Celiac Disease, so preparation of food to avoid cross contamination is serious to me. The manager Steve was excellent about the accommodations. He prepared our food himself and advised us about the safe sauces. I would recommend asking for the manager to make sure the prep is done correctly, because they are fairly new to the process. They have an allergy menu online and a gluten free menu in the restaurant. I loved the pulled pork and the jalapèno sausage. I will return, and you should all try it. :)

Great Gluten Free menu and the staff was well trained to handle my celiac son. Person at the register yelled out that a GF order was coming and the cook in back immediately changed gloves. Fries are the only thing put in deep fryer so those are good. There were 6 different bbq sauces when we went - five of them gluten free. Great option.

got the pulled pork and french fries. only got the fries because reviews on here recommended. I asked the lady at the counter if they were made in a dedicated fryer and she looked at me like I had 6 heads so I have to literally say "do you fry anything else in the same fryer with the fries" to get an answer, I then overheard her making fun of me for ordering gluten free. the pulled pork was dry and I wasn't a fan of either of the sauces I tried. the fries were greasy but the best park of the meal. probably won't return. on a side note they also tried to put a non gluten free side in the same box as my food (that someone I was with ordered) honestly suprised I didn't get sick

I had the most wonderful experience here last evening. This was my second time eating here, and they are very careful with your gf order, making sure to change gloves, etc. On my first visit, I ordered ribs, which were delicious, but I was afraid to try the sauces that are kept at each table, which are almost all gf, because of the cross contamination risk. Last night I ordered chicken, and the manager told me that I could have any of the sauces except the Texas twang, and I explained that no, none of the sauces are safe for me because of the cc that occurs when people might touch the sauce bottle to the buns of their sandwiches. He said that he had never thought about that before, but yes I was right this was not safe for celiacs. He said that he would bring this problem up to his general manager. He then had new clean bottles filled with the sauces that are gf brought out to our table! I was so happy and tried all of them! This made my dining experience so much better, because they were delicious and I felt safe eating them. Best of all, I did not get sick either time I have eaten here, not even a little tummy ache 😁.

Plenty of Meat Market platters, Signature meats (1/2 chicken, ribs), salads and sides to choose from. Most sauces are GF.Advise the order taker that you require GF, they will note it in the order and call back to the kitchen staff to clean surfaces and change gloves.Mission BBQ is one of my go-to for a safe option to eat. Been eating there a few times a month for many years and never have gotten sick.

We checked this place out for the first time on 11/11/17. My husband explained the celiac thing when placing the takeout order and they understood. He only ordered items he was assure would be safe. When he got home he had two market platters of meat, various sauces, an order of fries (dedicated fryer), baked beans and a green beans. As I began to dish the green beans on my plate I saw something white and looked closer and it was a piece of macaroni. I freaked out because I happened to pop two green beans in my mouth as I dished. I immediately switched plates with my husband the green beans had a lot of liquid in them that got on my nearby food and of course I thought it could be contaminated. I debated on whether to eat the meal or not and in the end did and did not get sick. I was very, very lucky. I am sure it was an innocent mistake but one that could have gotten me extremely ill. Despite the anxiety it was an amazing meal.

This place is great!!! Most of the meats are GF and they even have GF fries!!! I have visited Mission BBQ many times and never had reactions!!! they also are great about changing gloves and you don't even have to ask, but let's be real we all ask anyways! ;)
I also live their business model with supporting our military and first responders!!!

I would give TEN stars if I could! Amazing, Amazing, Amazing! Been at least 4 times in the last 45 days. Lovely lady named Jennifer is very knowledgable about cross contamination and goes to great lengths to keep our gf food away from other food with gluten. On top of that, the food in delicious and the they have GF fries! There hasn't been a time where we haven't loved our food here! Haven't been to another BBQ place since we've been here. Thank you Mission BBQ!!

Have found BBQ restaurants in general are very iffy and it's nice to have an option that has proven to be as consistently safe as Mission is. Great BBQ and love the Carolina vinegar sauce. Sides are wonderful. My go-to for BBQ.

Absolutely wonderful experience here! I have a family member that works here and gave me a little bit of a heads up on what was good. At the register I told them I have Celiac and made sure to emphasize the severity. They did a full line cleaning, changed gloves, new everything and one person made the plate. Then the expo goes over sauces and explains a little more in depth. They have a menu at the register and it can also be found online. I highly recommend trying this place out, the food, the staff and the atmosphere is truly amazing!

The have a gluten free menu but will also change their gloves. The employees were very knowledgeable about gluten and it was no hassle at all. They also only fry French fries so the fryer is completely gluten free. On top of that the food is amazing and service is great.

I've had lunch here several times after eating at another Mission BBQ in Maryland. Let them know you have an allergy and they'll switch gloves. Meat and fries prepared separately from foods that contain gluten. Only one of their sauces isn't GF.

I was so impressed by the way they handled my food after I informed them I had celiac. They changed their gloves, were very careful in putting my food together, wiped down the prep area, had a dedicated gluten free menu with many options, etc!
Food was tasty! I especially enjoyed the pulled pork (all pork no fat) and the cole slaw.
Great place!

I'm mildly obsessed with this place. FINALLY someplace I can eat real food when we go out to a movie. The pulled pork is amazing. The fries are gluten free (Yaaaaay!) Just tell them no corn bread- ask them to make it gluten free. They will change their gloves etc. They always do a great job and make me feel like they care. I eat here all the time. Honestly the portions are so huge that my fiancé and I end up splitting a meal sometimes!

We have been here several times. My son has Celiac and we test with the Nima sensor. Each time it has come back safe. They have a very good protocol to avoid cross contamination. When a GF order comes through everyone on the line changes gloves and utensils and the work surfaces are cleaned. Now, I do watch them carefully. I have seen mistakes made. However, they have fantastic customer service and will always make it right. They even come to the table to make sure everything is to your liking. For a fast casual restaurant, I have never experienced better service.

Great attention to detail. Employees wiped down work station and changed gloves. This place gets it.
Along with being celiac friendly - the food is just amazing. I also am really proud of the way they acknowledge those who served/are serving. This is the way veterans should be treated everywhere.
I wish I could give this place 6 stars because that's just how great my experience was here.

some of the best BBQ we have ever had. staff was very well versed with GF, they will change gloves and wipe down work areas, food prep is all in view, like 5 guys. this place has a dedicated fryer, the fries were amazing.

Excellent meal. I had the brisket and my husband had the spare ribs. We were told the fries were even gf which makes sense since no breaded items on the menu. We will tryvthem next time. Staff was knowledgeable about gf- immediately answered our questions.

excellent. .fast friendly clean, and gluten free menu..the best fries..love the way they honor our military. .we went when in Ft Myers and just discovered Tampa has one..we are fans..great flavor and moist chicken, ribs and pulled pork..we'll be back
